Description:
Kevin Burke is the star in the Las Vegas run of Rob Becker's popular comedy hit which is the longest running solo show in Broadway's history.

From the Golden Nugget site:

Defending the Caveman is a worldwide, rock-solid tour-de-force. This blockbuster has won the hearts of millions in more than 30 countries and has been translated into 15 languages. This is a hilariously insightful show about the ongoing misunderstandings between men and women that have both sexes roaring with laughter and recognition. With hysterical looks into contemporary feminism, masculine sensitivity and the erogenous zone, Defending the Caveman mines the common themes in relationships that go straight to the funny bone.

Reviews:
"Caveman is a nationwide comic phenomenon!"
- Ralph Blumenthal, The New York Times

"Hilarious Caveman is full of keen detail"
- Christine Dolan, The Miami Herald

"It is comforting to be assured that we are part of an ongoing family -- the cave people from inner space."
- Clive Barnes, New York Post

Reviews:
'Larry G. Jones', by Chuck Rounds - iGoShows.com
What people are saying - TripAdvisor.com

"His mannerisms and vocalizations are dead-on, it is his comical parodies that set him apart. Unlike most impressionists Jones can readily switch his voice from men to women and back again" - Las Vegas Senior Press

"Jones not only delivers terrific impressions, his comedic talent is well-timed and physically impressive. He's got the sound, facial expressions, the moves - and the talent - to easily fill a larger room. His parody of Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire is hilarious; likewise Julio Iglesias and Willie Nelson. His duet between Nat King Cole and daughter Natalie Cole is awesome. He's a rare late afternoon delight. A must see!." - EVegas.net

"Stunning testosterone-charged choreography. A-plus entertainment.Beauty. Rousing fun. These men know the moves that makes a women's heart turn loop de loops."
Manhattan Style Magazine

"Chippendales is an extravaganza. A voyeuristic phenomenon. The audience looses its breath and goes wild. Like a Broadway show everything is programmed to the minute. That Chippendales works so well is not an accident. The word of mouth is packing them in."

Description:
If you missed Prince during his short stint at the Rio, fear not... Purple Reign, THE Prince Tribute Band, is the next best thing. Impersonator Jason Tenner looks like, sounds like, dances like, and even plays guitar like the real Prince. And for an added bonus, Morris Day and The Time impersonators really get the crowd moving. Check out the Purple Reign website to find show dates and times at other Vegas venues, including Monte Carlo.

From the Purple Reign site:

Purple Reign began at the small but then popular UNLV college club Tom & Jerry's in the summer of 1997. Front man Jason Tenner formed the group with high school band-mates Jason Underwood (bassist) and Brent Wheeler (guitarist) after dressing as Prince for a Halloween party at the Hard Rock Hotel-Casino the previous year. " People's reactions were crazy!" recalls Tenner. "They kept wanting pictures, asking where I was performing and how they could get tickets! It was wild!"

2007 will see more growth as the show has plans to add an "Appolonia" character, with supporting cast, and continue to expand their vision of paying tribute to one of the greatest artists of our time!

This all male revue from Australia was recently voted "Best Adult Revue" for 2007 by the readers of Nevada Magazine and "Best Male Revue in Las Vegas" by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

From the Thunder From Down Under site :

The sexy Australian imports crackle with high energy as they show off their buffed bodies to adoring fans who can't seem to get enough of them. That's fine with the handsome blokes. They love to perform and interact with the ladies who scream with anticipation from the moment the show begins.

The latest production features charismatic characters including pirate "Jack Sparrow" from "Pirates of the Caribbean," to a "Desperado" from the Wild West. Did we mention the ladies get fired up at the thought of a romantic and muscled fireman sweeping them off their feet and creating heat on his own terms?
